**Note**: Some DMG files are encrypted, and you may be asked to enter a password before installing them.

## What Spotlight Can Help You Do

Spotlight is a handy search feature on macOS. It allows you to quickly find apps, documents, and other files. With Siri's suggestions below the results list, you can also get the news, videos, articles, and more about the keyword you're searching for. In addition, Spotlight can perform calculations and conversions for currency, temperature, and measurement.

## How to Rebuild Spotlight Index on macOS Monterey

In recent years, Apple has enhanced this feature to make it easier to use. Sometimes, however, you can't use Spotlight to find the file you're sure is stored on your Mac. The reason for the problem may be that your system is blocking Spotlight from searching the folder where the file is located. To check if a file is prevented from being searched, click **Apple menu > System Preferences > Spotlight > Search Results**. The deselected folders in the list will not appear in the Spotlight search results. 

![How to Check Spotlight Search Results](https://www.drbuho.com/str-api/uploads/check_spotlight_search_results_25cbeda6e9.png)

If you have confirmed that the file is included in the search result, but you still can't find it through Spotlight, it means your index may be damaged, and you need to reindex your Spotlight. In the following sections, we will show you how to rebuild the index of Spotlight in two simple ways. Let's take a look now.

### Method 1. Force Mac to Reindex Spotlight

1. Click the Apple Menu > System Preferences > Spotlight.

4. Highlight the fold or disk you just added and click the Minus button to remove it from the list.
    ![How to Force Mac to Rebuild the Spotlight Index](https://www.drbuho.com/str-api/uploads/force_mac_to_reindex_spotlight_9d32757c9f.png)

:::

## Why Is My Mac Fan So Loud?

Typically, you won't hear any sound from a Mac fan. If your fan is suddenly loud, it is mainly because the processor is overheated.

In addition, loose fans, aging fans, and too much dust on fans can also cause loud fan noise.

## How to Stop Mac Fan Noise

MacBook fan noise is really annoying. But don't worry. Here are some ways to fix it.

### Improve Air Circulation

First, check to see if your MacBook's vents are blocked.

A soft surface may block the air vents of your Mac, making the fan run more. For the best performance, place it on a hard, flat surface like a table or desk. 

### Check Ambient Temperature

High ambient temperatures can make your Mac overheat. It is recommended that you place your MacBook in an environment between 10°C and 35°C.

### Free up Memory

Doing complex tasks on your Mac, such as playing games, editing videos, and designing graphics, can also overheat your Mac as it consumes a lot of your CPU and memory resources.

To check which processes are using the most CPU and memory resources, open Activity Monitor and click on the CPU and Memory tabs as needed. Highlight the processes that consume the most resources and click the Stop button to end them.

![Check CPU and Memory Usage on Mac](https://www.drbuho.com/str-api/uploads/check_memory_usage_mac_eeaabfe525.png)

There is a quicker way to free up memory space on Mac, that is to use BuhoCleaner. It not only [releases your memory](https://www.drbuho.com/how-to/free-up-ram-on-mac) with one click, but also monitors your CPU load and temperature in real-time in the status bar. Click the button below to have a try now.

![Release Memory with BuhoCleaner](https://www.drbuho.com/str-api/uploads/monitor_cpu_and_memory_046d859864.png)

### Reset SMC

SMC refers to the System Management Controller. It controls many of the core functions of your Mac. Resetting it can solve issues related to power, battery, fans, and other functions.


Here's how to reset the SMC:

**For Macs with non-removable batteries:**

1. Unplug Mac's power line.
2. Turn off your Mac.
3. Press the Shift-Control-Option keys on the left side of the keyboard while holding down the Power button for at least 10 seconds. 
4. Release all keys and press the Power button again to reboot your Mac.

![Reset SMC Settings Hotkeys](https://www.drbuho.com/str-api/uploads/reset_smc_2_8bb43ef192.png)


**For Macs with the Apple T2 Security Chip:**

1. Turn off your Mac.
2. Press the Control-Option-Shift keys for 7 seconds, press the Power button simultaneously and wait another 7 seconds before releasing all four keys. (Your Mac might turn on and off during the process.)
3. Wait a few seconds, press the Power button again to turn on your Mac.

![Reset SMC Settings](https://www.drbuho.com/str-api/uploads/reset_smc_1_2cc2b8b563.png)

For the steps of other Mac types, refer to this Apple :a[article]{href=https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201295 rel=nofollow}.

### Update macOS

Bugs in the macOS can also lead to loud fans. We found that macOS Big Sur has poor fan control, while macOS Monterey does a great job.

If you are using macOS Big Sur, you may want to update to macOS Monterey to see if the problem is solved. (Don't forget to back up your Mac before performing the update steps.)

### Clean Fan Dust

After using your MacBook for a long time, there will be a lot of dust on the fan. Too much dust will lead to poor heat dissipation, and the fan will have to increase its speed to cool your Mac.

All you need to do is open the Mac back cover and clean up the dust on the fan. 

### Control Fan Speed Manually

Apple doesn't allow you to control fan speed. But thanks to third-party tools like Mac Fan Control, now you can manage your fan speed manually. 

It's worth noting that manually controlling fan speed may make your Mac hot and system unstable. Don't do it if you don't know much about Mac.

### Free up Storage Space

Not only can an overheated CPU cause loud fans, but it can also cause your Mac to run slowly. To keep your Mac run normally, you should reserve at least 15% of storage space. 

[BuhoCleaner](https://www.drbuho.com/buhocleaner/download), as its name suggests, is a tool designed for cleaning. It can free up gigabytes of space in a couple of clicks. What it can do for you includes junk file cleanup, app uninstallation, duplicate file removal, memory release, [Spotlight reindexing](https://www.drbuho.com/how-to/rebuild-spotlight-index), login items management, etc. 

![Free up Storage Space with BuhoCleaner](https://www.drbuho.com/str-api/uploads/free_up_space_mac_with_buhocleaner_5ff131ab97.png)

:p[Conclusion]{.h2}

Hopefully, you have reduced the annoying fan noise from your Mac. If not, you may want to ask for help from Apple Services.

## Reasons Behind the Not Enough Disk Space Error in iMovie

The main reason for the not enough disk space error is that your disk is full or almost full. Although iMovie is not a large program, you still need at least 25GB of free space to make sure it runs properly. When you use iMovie to make videos, it creates a large number of [cache files](https://www.drbuho.com/how-to/clear-cache-on-mac) and temporary files on your Mac. Over time, these files pile up and take up a lot of your valuable storage space, leaving you with little available space to import or export videos.

But this may not be the case. There are also users who claim that even if there is enough free disk space, iMovie will still prompt an error of insufficient disk space. In this case, you may need to check for iMovie updates and update it to the latest version.

## How to Clear iMovie Disk Space on Mac

Now that you know why iMovie says there is insufficient disk space, let's see how to solve this problem. Here are 6 ways you can try.

### 1. Clean up Your Disk Space

Like we mentioned above, insufficient storage space is the main factor that causes this error. The safest way to free up disk space is to clear the junk files on your Mac. Some of the junk files are caches in the system, browsers, and applications, logs, [duplicates](https://www.drbuho.com/how-to/find-and-delete-duplicate-files-on-mac), disk images, and files in the Trash.

Indeed, you can go to the Finder to manually search for and delete files or applications you don't need. But this process can be time-consuming. Here, we would like to introduce you to an easier way to do this, using BuhoCleaner, a simple and practical [cleaner for Mac](https://www.drbuho.com/how-to/best-mac-cleaner-software). This tool allows you to find tens of gigabytes of junk files in one click. All you need to do is select the files you want to get rid of and click the Remove button.

By default, the iMovie Library is in the Movies folder in your Home directory. You can quickly locate it by clicking Finder > Movies. Though it's difficult to change the default location of the iMovie Library, you can move the files in iMovie Library to an external drive.

![move-imovie-library-content.png](https://www.drbuho.com/str-api/uploads/move_imovie_library_content_989665cc34.png)

## What Is the Scratch Disk in Photoshop?

Before we offer you the solutions to the full scratch disk problem in Photoshop, let's find what a scratch disk is.

According to :a[Adobe]{href="https://helpx.adobe.com/sea/photoshop/using/scratch-disks-preferences.html" rel='nofollow'}, a scratch disk is a hard drive or SSD that is used for temporary storage while Photoshop is running. Photoshop uses this space to store portions of your documents and their history panel states that don't fit in your Mac's memory or RAM. By default, Photoshop uses the hard drive  (Macintosh HD) where the macOS is installed as the primary scratch disk.

## Reasons Behind the Full Scratch Disk Error in Photoshop

Temporary files are the main reason why Photoshop’s scratch disk is full. As you know, Photoshop is a large design program. When you use it to create and edit images, it generates a large number of temporary files that can make Photoshop run faster. But over time, these files pile up and take up a lot of the space of the scratch disk.


In addition, when the hard drive used as the scratch disk runs out of storage space, you may also get the prompt window that says the scratch disk is full. To find out if you have any available storage space, you can check it by clicking the Apple Menu  > About This Mac > Storage.

Another reason behind the scratch disk full error is limited [RAM](https://www.drbuho.com/how-to/free-up-ram-on-mac) for Photoshop. In this case, you may need to add more memory.

### 2. Free up Disk Space



According to Adobe :a[articles]{href=https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/scratch-disks-preferences.html rel=nofollow}, you should reserve at least 20GB of free space on your macOS hard drive while working with Photoshop.

### 5.  Change RAM for Photoshop

By default, Photoshop uses 70% of the [memory space](https://www.drbuho.com/how-to/free-up-ram-on-mac). You can adjust this value as needed. However, we strongly recommend that you do not exceed 85% at most. Otherwise, Otherwise, it may cause poor performance of other applications due to insufficient memory.

:::

## How to Check Storage Usage on Mac

First things first, let's check how much free space you have left.
1. Click the Apple menu and choose About This Mac.
2. Click on Storage Tab, wait for seconds, and you'll see a colored storage bar.
3. Hover over the last dark grey section, and you can see how much free space is left.


![Check Storage Space](https://www.drbuho.com/str-api/uploads/check_storage_bbb6f57965.png)

## How Much Free Space Should I Have on My Mac?

Studies show that your Mac's performance starts to degrade when your storage space usage reaches 85%. To make sure your Mac runs properly, you need to have at least 10GB of free space. But we recommend that you keep at least 15% of your storage space so you can have more freedom to install new macOS, upgrade software, or download movies.


## 8 Best Ways to Free up Space on Mac

Now that you know how little space you can use, let's take a look at how to free up more space on Mac.  

### 1. Optimize Mac Storage

The easiest way to free up disk space is to use the built-in optimization tools on Mac. You can easily find them by clicking the Manage button above the storage bar. As you can see from the picture, there are four recommended optimization options. Just follow the recommendations to optimize your storage space.

![Optimize Storage](https://www.drbuho.com/str-api/uploads/optimize_storage_66c57fd4eb.png)


**Store in iCloud**: This feature allows you to store your photos, movies, and files in iCloud. So just keep the necessary files on your Mac.

**Optimize Storage**: Click the Optimize button to turn on this function, and your Mac will automatically remove the movies and TV shows you have watched to the Trash if storage is needed.

**Empty Trash Automatically**: Once you turn it on, the items that have been in the Trash for over 30 days will be removed automatically. 

**Reduce Clutter**: By clicking the Review Files button, you can sort all the files on your Mac and delete the ones you no longer need.


### 2. Clear Junk Files on Mac

 To quickly clear all junk files on your Mac, you need a third-party claner. [BuhoCleaner](https://www.drbuho.com/) is the tool for you. It's one of the best Mac cleaners, and it can help you clean and speed up your Mac with a few clicks. Some of its noticeable features are junk file cleaning, unwanted app removal, duplicate and large file cleanup, and [memory release](https://www.drbuho.com/how-to/free-up-ram-on-mac).

 Clearing junk files on Mac has never been easier. All you need is a couple of clicks. Click the button below to have a try.

:group[:linkbutton]

### 3. Uninstall Apps You Don't Use

You probably have many programs installed on your Mac. Is there an application that you have only used once? Unused applications are taking up your space for nothing. If you're sure they are no longer useful to you, deleting them can also help you regain some space.

You can uninstall unwanted apps manually and automatically. But to be honest, the manual way is time-consuming. We more recommend that you use BuhoCleaner to do the job for you. Click [here](https://www.drbuho.com/buhocleaner/download) to download the free version of BuhoCleaner.

![Unisntall Apps with BuhoCleaner](https://www.drbuho.com/str-api/uploads/uninstall_apps_buhocleaner_5159a739f9.png)

Related Article: [How to Completely Uninstall Apps on Mac](https://www.drbuho.com/how-to/uninstall-apps-mac)  


### 4. Delete DMG Files 

Once you have installed an application, its DMG files are useless. Since most apps don't remind you to delete their DMG files in time, they will take up more and more of your disk space if you don't clean them up manually.
The process of [deleting DMG files](https://www.drbuho.com/how-to/find-and-delete-dmg-files-mac) is simple. You can either delete them via Finder manually or download BuhoCleaner to save time and effort.

![Remove DMG Files with Finder](https://www.drbuho.com/str-api/uploads/remove_dmg_files_with_finder_1c71e78fb9.png)

### 5. Clear Temporary Files

Your hard drive probably has temporary files you don't need. Removing them may not speed up your Mac, but it will free up some valuable disk space for you.

![Delete Temporary Files with Finder](https://www.drbuho.com/str-api/uploads/delete_temporary_files_with_finder_8af531872a.png)

### 6. Remove Duplicate Files

Deleting duplicate files is also an excellent way to reclaim space. Have you ever noticed how many duplicate files are on your Mac? There are far more of them than you think. Many operations can create duplicate files, such as downloading the same file multiple times and accidentally copying some files. 
If you are an experienced Mac user, you can find duplicate files manually, but this may take you a long time and requires you to be patient enough. But if you don't know much about Mac, using a [duplicate file finder tool](https://www.drbuho.com/how-to/best-free-duplicate-file-finder) to find and delete them is your best choice.

![Find and Delete Duplicate Files](https://www.drbuho.com/str-api/uploads/find_delete_duplicate_files_8b2cf10874.png)

### 7. Compress Files

Another way to clear Mac space is to compress files that you don't use often. You don't need to use a third-party compression tool because Apple's built-in compression tool is helpful. All you need to do is select the files to be compressed, right-click them, and select Compress, and your files will be packaged into a Zip file. Since you don't use these files often, you can store the Zip file on an external drive.

### 8. Empty Trash

In most cases, you may just drag unwanted files into the Trash but do not clear the Trash regularly. Why not take a second to empty it? If you do so, you will be surprised by how much space you'll save.

:p[Conclusion]{.h2}

Hopefully, you have freeed up enough space to do what you want. As you can see, using BuhoCleaner is the best way to get back storage space on Mac. It can save you a lot of time and effort. Don't forget to give it a try.
